NIXON-KENNEDY RACE: Current Campaign 'Costliest In History By G. MILTON KELLY Associated Press Writer THE Democrats and Republicans call the 1960 election campaign probably the costliest in history. But none seemed able to give an over-all estimate of the actual total fund raising and spending in the presidential and congressional elections. Each side pictured the other as "spending as if they thought money was going out of style." The Senate elections subcommittee, after investigating the 1956 presidential and congressional campaigns, estimated thecost reached AY, NOVEMBER 6, 1960 NIGHT EDITOR: SUSAN FARRELL Nixon's Reaffirmation Of the American Dream HIS PRESIDENTIAL campaign has been called a "battle of pygmies" and a "cam- lgn without heroes." The protagonists, Nixon d .Kennedy, have been said to be about as fferent from each other as IBM is from irroughs. Little"matter whetheryou're a Republican Democrat, you're forced to admit that the- scriptions contain some truth. Neither Sen. ennedy nor Vice-President Nixon are bright lhts on the political horizon-they're a pair competent politicians in the proverbial right ace at the right time. You aren't excited out either person. But you will vote Republican on Tuesday. 'ROBABLY the best reason you can give is that you're scared. You are afraid of fat a Democratic administration and in- perlenced Kennedy would do in the fields of reign policy and domestic fiscal policy. Democrats are quick to point to trouble ots around the world today. It is worth entioning here that while trouble has arisen ternationally, not yet have U.S. soldiers en asked to die. Call it "brinkmanship" or gat you will, but thus far it has worked. While one cannot subscribe to the twin old ves' tales of GOP-depression and Democrat- er, many people still remember a Democrat ministration saying that Korea was outside r defense perimeters-thus encouraging the er we evetually entered. This is essentially the position Kennedy uld have us take over Quemoy and Matsu, ile Nixon takes a reasonable stand, acknow- iging that we would of necessity take part their defense in case of attack, so we might well state this as a possible deterrent to ph an invasion. [ERE IN ANN ARBOR last week, Nixon gave an equally reasonable explanation- of the .ministration's Cuban position. He stated that e government's hands-off policy at the pre- nt timei Is the only possible one. He com- red what we have done (or more accurately, vent done) to what Russia did in Hungary. ie Vice-President noted here that the rest the world would make the same comparison. hat clearer picture of the two great powers n thusbe giyen to the uncommitted world anjheir self-portraits In like situations? His rareness of the possibilities in this affair is me evidence of the maturity we desire in Chief Executive. You get the feeling, perhaps ly intuitively, that Sen. Kennedy might be Mewhat more rash. You have difficulty imagining Kennedy sit- g with the Adenauers, Khrushchevs, De- wiles and Macmillans of the world. Glib d self-assured, he Is-the TV debates demon- rated that-but a statesman? One can only ess. Nixon has already been sitting in coun- . with these men for eight years. The GOP inpaign slogan is "Experience Counts." rite? Maybe, but then again-maybe not. OT PAR BEHIND foreign affairs as an issue is fiscal policy. While other issues We and go and the parties trade platform inks, the economic issue is probably the ain thing keeping our two parties separate. Nixon was recently quoted as saying "it is sential that he (the president) not allow a lla spent that could be better spent by e' people themselves." While both parties and candidates would be ick to embrace such a fine sounding ideal long with motherhood and apple pie), the publican party actually means it. This is one ea where the candidates and their voting :ord are sharply at variance. Kennedy has consistently voted for publie penditures. Nixon has generally voted as anomic conservative. These -are the general sitions of their parties, and neither has been ted as deviating in the basic area. 'HE GOP platform would have government stay out of areas which it is not already solved in, thus leaving more for the private etor to develop. This is a question of political- anomic philosophy and is as basic to Nixon his party. The Democrats have rejected this In fact, d regularly work toward increasing govern- ,nt Involvement and thus government ex. nditures, whether it be in old age insurance, blic housing, public power development, or deral unemployment insurance guarantees. eater government spending necessarily eans more taxes and less discretionary funds r the public at large and for industries that uld provide jobs-if they could. ENNEDY SCOFFS at those who wish to keep private initiative and says we have roblems" here and now. It might be sug- sted that these short-range problems are s serious than the long-range problem in. lved when a nation that has been founded the enterprise system and thrived under becomes a welfare state. [t is a curious concept that the Dlemrcrats. Perhaps it's just a matter of definition. Per- haps the Democrats merely define areas in which the public must be cared for more broadly. Whatever the reason, the Democrats have promised to do more in areas such as urban renewal, highways, farming and educa- tion. But Nixon, at his best in his Chicago accept- ance speech in August, made his point - the Democrats have promised everything ex- cept to pay the bill. "We are not going to try to buy the people's votes with their own money," he said at that time. And as the campaign moves to the wire, he has kept that promise. HIS IS NOT just a promise to big business, it's a promise to anyone that believes that this is still America-that government direction and control of the economy is undesireable. On civil rights, the Democratic platform offers more promise-but with Lyndon John- son and the bloc of Southern senators behind Kennedy, you have to ask, "Is it for real?" Nixon, on the other hand, has been frank in his stand (a liberal one) on both sides of the Mason-Dixon line. Looking for a farm issue is disappointing. Neither man dares to tell the truth-that there are too many farmers and many must leave, in time. Nixon's, "warmed-over Benson" policy though it may be, comes closer to our real needs, not promising (there's that word again) high rigid price supports. THEY HAVE CARRIED their peculiar at- titudes toward the election along the cam- paign trails. Kennedy has been confident, bold, and you might even say arrogant. Nixon, from the opening words of his acceptance speech, has acknowledged the incapacity of any man to fill the job properly, and only promises to try. Somehow, Nixon's approach rings truer. Nixon stands with the Republican party and is a fairly representative symbol of that party. They stand for fiscal responsibility and mini- mal government involvement with essentially private affairs. With his experience in the Eisenhower Ad- ministration behind him, he happens to have the much-needed experience for working in international councils. And so both the basic issues of the campaign seem to settle them- selves on the GOP side of the fence. IT IS NOT just specifics such as these that beg a Republican vote. There is a matter of over-riding philosophy. The two parties do, in general, have guiding philosphies and they are well represented in the candidates each party has chosen. There is something called an American Dream. At least there once was such a thing. The dream went something like this: there once was a poor boy, he worked hard, put himself through school, and one day he became president of General Motors or even of the United States. I was at the dedication of a power plant in Northeastern Michigan this summer. The man the plant was being named for made a short address telling of his early days on the farm and the route to the presidency of Michigan's largest private power company. Behind him on the platform were two dozen of the top industrialists in the Midwest. When he told of that Indiana farm, the cows to be milked, the first job in town, the dirty dishes on the college tables, there were misty eyes and nodding heads. They too, had milked those cows and washed those dirty dishes. Today they knew what that dream was-for them it was real. T IS DREAM must stay real for America. But the Democratic party has told Ameri- cans they must give up this dream-turn it in for their mess of pottage. Kennedy hands us "New Frontiers," a perversion of what a fron- tier once meant in this country. This is what his party has stood for since the '30's. Since that time, all we have been handed is ever- increasing government control and spending. Robin Hood economics that have meant more full stomachs have lowered American ideals to the point where a full stomach is the only goal. Nixon's and the Republican party's policy of keeping hands off much that the Democrats would control through big government is not an abdication of an area where government should deal. Nixon and the party whose philosophy he embodies asks but one thing-that that one- time farm boy who saw a private power com- pany dedicate a plant in his name have a successor-that the Dream does not die now. NIXON TOO, embodies the Dream, rising from a grocer boy to vice-president. He offers the people of this country an opportunity to follow him. He does not tell the people what he will give them-he tells them what he believes they can do for themselves.

It does not mean meek submission to the will of the evil-doer, but it means putting of one's whole soul against the will of the tryrant. --Mahatma Ghandil THE ANN ARBOR Direct Action Committee, or AADAC, is a group that in seven months has grown from a small nucleus of picketers to the 200-member local affiliate group of the National Congress o f Racial Equality (CORE). The group began last March as one of a number of Northern sympathy demonstrations in sup- port of the Southern sit-in move- ment. These protests have taken the form of peaceful picketing, sit-ins at segregated lunch coun- ters, stand-ins and wade-ins at segregated beaches, kneel-ins and economic boycotts. The Southern demonstrations began Feb. 1 of last year with a Greensboro, N.C. sit-in, and a sympathy movement soon sprang up in the North. As part of the general move- ment in the North, a group of University students and Ann Arbor townspeople organized a picket- ing organization last spring. The new group began picketing Kres- ge's and Woolworth's and have continued these picketings weekly up to the present time, with a total of over 300 picketers having participated at one time or other. AT THE TIME the group began its picketing of Kresge's and Wool- worth's, a dispute was arising over the Cousins Shop's alleged refusal to serve Negroes. When the store refused to negotiate with the Ann Arbor Human Relations Commis- sion, it was picketed. Picketing stopped this summer, however, when AADAC decided to submit the dispute to the Human Rela- tions Commission for mediation. On April 15, 15 picketers were arrested on a loitering charge on a city ordinance regarding dis- tribution of leaflets. Harold Norris, chairman of the Michigan chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union, defended the picketers; and the city ordinance was called "un- constitutional" by Mr. Norris. Charges were dropped by the city and AADAC now has complete freedom to distribute leaflets. "The result of the case was the testing and clarification of the ordinance," Judith Yesner, sec- retary of AADAC, commented. LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Do Hopefuls Fear Debate' "The arrests had the immediate effect of doubling our member- ship." *4* * THE MAIN activity this sum- mer was a successful stand-in campaign at the Newport Beach Club on Portage Lake. The first stand-in took place July 31, and on this date Negroes were ad- mitted with the stand-in group. On Aug. 7, however, Negroes were refused admission by the owner, Michael Crisovan, who announced at the same time that the beach would be closed for the remainder of the season. The second stand-in, planned in advance for four weeks by AADAC, demonstrated the principles of non-violent direct action which the organization firmly believes in. This principle received a strong test when Crisovan called the police at the first sign of possible violence. A crowd of teenagers gathered to antagonize the demonstrators, who were escorted back to Ann Arbor by the police. AADAC saw in Crisovan's refusal to admit Ne- groes a clear violation of the Diggs Act-Michigan's civil rights law--and the case is now under litigation through the county prosecutor's office. * * * A CONSIDERABLE expansion program was begun by AADAC this fall, and five new sub- committees were formed. These are: 1) a subcommittee under Miss Yesner on housing discrimi- nation and the Corporation and Security Commission's Rule 9, whichrprohibits discrimination by state-licensed realtors in house sales; 2) a subcommittee under Robert Ross on implementation of Regents' Bylaw 2.14, which pro- hibits discrimination in Univer- sity housing; 3) a picketing sub- committee headed by Jack Ladin- sky to coordinate picket activity and scheduling; 4) a subcommittee to investigate city and University discrimination in employment, and 5) -an ad-hoc bibiography sub- committee to gather information on the national sit-in movement. * * * MORE IMPORTANT than the existence of AADAC is its en- - thusiastic support from both stu- dents and townspeople. It is only a start when Southern Negroes protest their exclusion from lunch counters. Northern support for civil liberties underlines t h e nation-wide concern and signifi- cance of the movement. It is important that AADAC has support because it is important that the students and citizens of Ann Arbor, whether white or colored, care about what happens to other students and other citi- zens, in addition to fighting dis-' crimination on a local level. at least $33,185,725.It said the .total must have been far higher, but that it was impossible to trace the rest of it. THE SUBCOMMITTEE said federal election laws requiring publis disclosure of campaign contributions and spending are so full of loopholes that an accurate .picture of either was impossible,j even with the broad powers at its command: Bills designed to plug these holes by carrying out sub- committee recommendations have failed to get through Congress, however. Why would the 190 campaign be the costliest? Both sides said there has been more television ad- vertising, extensive zig-zag stump- ing tours by the candidates in jet planes and by other means, the addition of the new states of Alaska and Hawaii, and higher costs of goods and services. Nowhere in the nation is there. any central place to receive all campaign financial reports and make them public. Campaign or- ganizations whose activities cross state lines are required to report to Congress. The others report to their state governments or not at all. The elections subcommittee report contended a lot of spend- ing never is reported to anyone. * * * CANDIDATES FOR President don't have to tell- anyone how much they spend from their pri- vate resources on their own cam- paigns. A top Republican campaign of- ficial, declining to be quotesd by name, said the GOP national com- mittee and three companion com- mittees national in scope, have a combined budget of $7.2 million this year. A top Democratic of- ficial said the corresponding four committees in his party have "a budget something like $6.5 to $7 million." The rest of the spending is through organizations such as the national and lower echelon Nixon- Lodge clubs, Citizens for Kenne- dy-Johnson, and dozens of other national, state, county and local committees-of many titles. Many of these raise and spend their own funds. Some of them are formed for specific short term projects. Even 'the national head- quarters of either party has no list of all of its local committees. The federal corrupt practices law forbids any campaign organi- zation to spend more than $3 million in a campaign. But it allows a candidate to have as many committees as he chooses, each with a $3 million ceiling on its spending. A Democratic campaign execu- tive said his party's four major national organizations are spend- ing about $3 million for television broadcasts. He figured campaign travel bills would run to around $1.5 million for these four groups. Republican sources said they weren't ready to make a final estimate yet. Both parties said they weren't sure they could have affordedthe four Nixon-Kennedy debates for which television networks gave free time. The elections subcommittee had estimated the Democrats spent $2,292,228 for television in the 1956 campaign, and the Republicans $3,006,412. It figured that travel, salaries and some other items had cost the Republicans $7,334,971 and the Democrats $4,429,179. To the Editor: AS first semester freshmen in the University, we have re- ceived very little information from the SGC candidates themselves regarding the coming election. We understand that the idea of a debate among all the candidates has been bandied about during the past week and a half. However, several of the candidates have not been willing to take time out from their campaigning to parti- cipate in what we feel would be an extremely worthwhile and in- formative session. Recently we have spoken with the Voice Party candidates, name- ly Lynn Bartlett, Philip Power, and Mary Wheeler, all of whom are eager to take part in a debate, followed by a question and an- swer period. It seems to us that, if the Voice candidates are eager to debate, why not the other can- didates? Are they afraid, or are they merely apathetic? --Carol Cohen, '64 -Nancy Press, '64 I ypial . . To the Editor: AS EXPECTED, in one of our rare readings of the Michigan Daily, we once again find a typical example of Daily advertising. It is misleading, deceptive, fallacious, confusing, and just plain erron- eous! The advertisement referred to is the one for the Mikado. In said notice, tickets were "being sold for fifty per cent less than they were after we marked them up fifty per cent." We find this type of copy to be an insult to the calibre of intelligence of the Michigan student. For the poorer mathematicians, let us cite but one small example to explain our point. Assuming the base price of the ticket to be one dollar, a fifty per cent markup would raise the price to one dollar and fifty cents. Reducing this price by fifty per cent, the final ticket price would be seventy-five cents. The Gilbert and Sullivan Society could not long endure on this campus were they to be taken up on such an offer. There is no need for a gimmick to sell a show of this quality. A society held in such high regard should look well to the people representing them in print. --Michael Brunschwig, Grad. CAMPAIGN: Highlights Issues By ARTHUR EDSON Associated Press News 'Analyst SO THE .PRESIDENTIAL cam- paign is thrashing along to its finish, and most people, in- cluding -the hardest working, fast- est travelling candidates in our political history, will be glad when it's over. Vice-President Richard M. Nixon and Sen. John F. Kennedy have flitted nervously from. coast to coasta They have been- seen by the hundreds of thousands, many of whom have struggled in close enough to touch their heroes. Their most minute changes in facial expressions have been ob- served by millions on television. * * * YET FOR ALL the scurrying about, for all the constant speech- making, this campaign has been strangely devoid of the dramatic and unexpected. It has been-waged on a plateau, with few high peaks and few deep valleys. Probably not in modern times have reporters covering the two candidates filed so few bulletins denoting unex- pected developments. .And yet, because of the close- ness of the race, of the furious pace the candidates have main- tained, of the increasing impor- tance the White -House holds in this troubled world, the campaign has always been interesting. Let's look back at a few notes on the highlights of a hectic, his tory-making bid for the presi-. dency: Leadership-it's obvious that leadership is what this country always needs plenty of, and our aspiring candidates were making dlike leaders long before either convention met. Those of uswho travelled with Nixon and Ke nedy Beard their pitch over and .ever. Kiennedy's: Communism is on the march, and this nation's leadership isn't vigorous enough to meet the chal- lenge. Let's get going (with Ken- nedy, naturally). . Nixon's: What a tremendous ob President Eisenhower has done, and how popular he is throughout the world. Let's keep' this high standard (with Nixon, naturally). FOREIGN AFFAIRS-since the President is entrusted with direct- ing our foreign policy, it is here that each man has worked hard- est at creating the image of the leader. The U2 incident... Quemoy and Matsu .. Cuba . .. how these were, or will be, handled are all testsof leadership. And that other issue that has been kicked about so unrelentingly by both can- didates, U.S. prestige abroad, is a direct descendant, since leader- ship to a large extent determines the nation's position in the world. done purposely by one, or both, Domestic affairs: Maybe it's done purposely by one, or both, candidates, but here the campaign seems murkiest of all. Quick now: Can you say precisely what Nixon and Kennedy want in the way of new legislation? And, more im- portant, can you figure how either can get his program by a Con- gress which might prove balky? in general, both say they want, to go forward. Both want to help teachers and the aged, for ex- ample, but differ in how they would do it. Nixon tries to leave the impression that, if Kennedy is elected, inflation will take over completely. Kennedy tries to leave the impression that Nixon, if elected, would soon have a reces- sion, and large numbers of un- employed, on his hands. RELIGION - a few politicians will tell you privately that the only real issue in this campaign is Kennedy's Catholicism. Some will vote for Kennedy simply be- cause he's a Catholic. Some will vote against him simply because he's a Catholic. \ The reviving of the Issue in the final days when three Roman Catholic bishops in Puerto Rico t told Catholics not to vote for Gov. Luis Munoz Marin's party. If the election is close, religion could be decisive. t * * TELEVISION - here election history was made, with candidates , meeting face-to-face.
